Experiments in Film and Philosophy

Beschreibung

Christopher Falzon argues in this book for a new way of understanding film as philosophy. Inspired and informed by the work of Michel Foucault, Falzon shows how a motion picture can challenge the way viewers see the world, and can make them think differently.

Rezensionen

"Experiments in Film and Philosophy presents an innovative view of the relationship between film and philosophy by employing a Foucault-inspired notion of 'historico-critical' reflection. According to Falzon, films present their viewers with philosophical experiences that free them from the hold of received notions. He shows how this works in illuminating interpretations of Breathless, Force Majeure, and Under the Skin. Experiments in Film and Philosophy is essential reading for anyone interested in film, philosophy, and their relationship."
Thomas E. Wartenberg, author of Thinking on Screen
